We never measure
the worth of just one rain-drop…
just the water gauge.

It certainly feels that way at times!
Indeed.
Too true. We fail to see the forest for the trees. Sort of.
Carol, I’ve just followed your blog as of today, as I have been wanting to learn to write poetry and another blog friend gave me the link to your guest post today about learning to write poetry. I do love your writing. I’ve been reading some of your Haiku poetry and have a question. Is there a rule as to the number of words per line? Many of yours differ. I’ve seen 3-5-4 etc., but hey seem to differ. I will do as your recommend in your Guest Post and read more poetry as well as get away from the computer more and experience life a little more.thanks!
I use the 5-7-5 syllable rule for haiku poetry. It’s a more traditional form.
I’m glad you liked the post and it’s lovely to hear someone recommended my blog. May I ask who it was?
Thank you, I do like your poetry a lot. Michael, at summerstommy2.com referred me.
Really? I haven’t heard from him in ages, is lovely to hear he refereed someone to my poetry.
I guess another sign people continue to follow and admire when we aren’t aware 😊
